The 650,000 capacity oil refinery being built by Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, plans to start selling gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel by early 2020.
The $10 billion refinery, set to be one of the world’s largest is expected to be near full capacity by mid-2020, said by group Executive Director, Dangote Group, Edwin Devakumar.
Dangote is building the world’s largest single oil refinery and also expanding into fertilizer, aiming to address long-standing problems in Nigeria’s energy markets.
As per report, Devakumar said the oil refinery, with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, would also target export markets.“Our primary focus is Nigeria, to meet the entire local demand, but we have the capacity to export more than 50 per cent of what we produce, so the secondary focus will be on western Africa and central Africa
